I have a house south of Carcassonne and I fly there quite often from Dublin. I am mystified as to how the Ryan air pricing works and how one can go about getting a good priced ticket. Does anyone know how they price things. recently I noticed that the tax seems to vary on a flight that cost the same as another. I always assumed that the tax was fixed?
Booking early is not always an indicator either, again I recently booked a cheaper flight for a friend who came out with me on the same flight with me several weeks later?

I think that understanding how to figure out the pricing would help a lot of people that travel to France often.
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm afraid I can't help you there. But while we're on the subject, no doubt you'll have heard the news that they will increase their check-in and bagage handling fees from today. That's since the last price hike at the end of January this year.

Read more about it here...

All the best,

I know this will not be a popular post but I have to say, that only for Ryanair we would not have our home in France. I have used the service multiple times this year and have NEVER had any problems. I know the policy of hand luggage and the 10kg rule. I find the online checkin brilliant. We keep a good stock of all the general bits I need in the house, so, the 10kgs is fine. I normally have a lot less than that anyway.
This coming weekend we are going to Rodez for 0.0c + tax =€8.99 going from Dublin and €29.99 back from Carcassonne.

This summer I will drive over in June at a cost of €980 on the overpriced ferries. We will be there till August 11th so having our own car is a bonus and of course we can bring wine and real cheese home. So for me I will not begrudge Michael O'Leary his baggage charges, so long as he keeps flying.
